***March MTT Thread***

Well February was a great month due to my big win. But it was no good after it - I struggled the rest of the month.

I like to start off each month fresh - helps me clear my mind of cobwebs and any tilt that might be lingering from a bad run.

I only have a few days to play tournaments til I will be taking a week off. Going to Amsterdam! I might play some on Sunday night though because I have a big freeroll I am qualified to play in. If I do play I will give some thought to playing in the Sunday million since it is $5mil this week. It depends on how rested I am - it is 6 hours ahead there and I will be suffering from jet lag lol.

I think the break will do me good - I will be anxious to resume when I get back.

Then on the 28th it is back to Vegas for some more live tournaments!

Yea - went several years ago and it is one of my favorite places I have ever been.

They have a casino there but the poker room is very very small. I did play in a sng though and will play some again if they are running them.

The Holland government has a monopoly on casinos, I know the rake in Groningen is ridic high

Other aim of this month is to keep this thread active and make it rival the Ring Game one!

I cant seem to find a rhythym for end game play in the 4 rush sngs on ftp... gets to like 90 ppl or so w/27 make money and I always seem to just collapse

I use to have a good ROI on these (80%) back when they were 125 players, but now w/the on demand thing I'm having trouble figuring them out

thoughts mtt regs?

Great result dakota! How soft is the $5 quad? I've been playing the $4 quads with far smaller fields which seem OK

Wouldn't say that with 27 getting paid and 90 left that you are anywhere near end game personally - I've played them a few times and they seem really soft thanks to them being advertised in the lobby, should play similarly to when they were 125 max but slightly easier

Hi Dakota, welcome to the Netherlands.
Anyway, I see this result and was wondering if the great results lately also have to do about you being coached.
Do you think you become a significantly better player because of the coaching ?

ya i guess end game isnt the right term...its more like those last 40 ppl left, somewhere around 70 ppl left w/27 making money,

but i always seem to bust like 45 of 300, something like that haha

maybe I just havent played enough (roughly 20 or so w/cashing in 3 of those)

I use to be good at the 125's but these extra ppl are throwing me off

I've been taking a few days off poker, forced myself to play a bit at the end of last week so catching up with chilling out. Will either play a session tomorrow or start grinding properly again on Saturday if I'm not too hungover

So there is some other big tourney going on Sunday? I was planning to win it and pimp my Lambo with some furry dice and a bumper sticker saying my other car is a Skoda.

Well I did add the $11r's last month which resulted in my $6k cash. I can probably start looking at some $22's but honestly I prefer deeper than 3k starting stacks - which is why I like the re-buys. (I know some of them are 3k with re-buy but there is always the add-on later). Going higher than $11 on re-buys is still a bit scary for me -sometimes I have $51 invested in those - even up to $71.

I love the $5 2R1A - so many chips hehe. But this is my first final table in it. They are soft enough early on but a lot of this fish donk out before the add-on. There was a mixture on the last 3 tables -some solid mtt grinders for sure -but also some fishies.

Thanks - will arrive there early Sat morning!

Without a doubt coaching has improved my game!!!

I know this isnt the right forum area haha but figured its not worth its own thread.

if my gf starts an account on ftp and than gets bored w/playing (like I know she will ) , am I able to transfer those funds to my account so I dont lose them? or will ftp think theres something suspicous and deny it?

btw, its only 200$ deposit too, nothing earth shattering

Yeah should be fine, you might have to provide ID tho.

Will hopefully move up to $5 quads within the next couple of months dakota, thanks

I have caught the live poker flu I probably won't play much online as the local club action is just too inviting for a 'serious' hobbiest. I'm structuring my time so that poker time lines up with the club games.

Going to be back on the grind tonight!

I need to watch some Mement vids, watched all of augie's and they were great fun.

Signed up to a couple more sites to try and find some decent micro (~$5) tournies to go along with FTP which aren't quite as huge as the Pokerstars ones.
